On March 22, several prohibitions were observed, rooted in traditions surrounding the Forty Holy Saints holiday, also known as the Rooks holiday. The date marks the second meeting of spring, following the Epiphany and the Annunciation. Historically, this day involved specific rituals intended to attract good fortune. According to reports, these included attending church and offering 40 candles in remembrance of fallen soldiers, with women praying for the return of husbands and sons. Specific actions were believed to influence future relationships and well-being. Women with children traditionally prepared blini, offering one to young men to attract a fiancé, while baking in the shape of birds was used to determine the direction from which a future husband would arrive. Several prohibitions were observed on this day. Individuals were advised against cursing, raising their voices, using offensive language, envy, borrowing money, or borrowing salt – actions considered likely to invite trouble. Large, unplanned purchases were also discouraged if funds were limited. These five prohibitions were central to the customs associated with the march date.
